In case you missed this on the annouce list. Or also, read at https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-coreos/ in glorious technicolor. ----- Forwarded message from Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ----- > Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 10:00:00 -0400 > From: Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > CC: coreos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Welcome to Fedora CoreOS > > > Hi everyone. If you saw my talk at DevConf.cz this year > (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCTTHoxv5c&t=890s), you’ll > remember I discussed the Fedora / Red Hat relationship, and > specifically how Fedora has historically worked with new > technologies that come our way through acquisitions made by our > primary sponsor. > > Little did I know, but at that very moment, something huge was in > the works, and when my plane landed back in Boston my phone blew up > with messages about CoreOS joining Red Hat. > > That’s obviously gigantic news, directly relevant to Fedora, since > we are the project Red Hat depends on for operating-system level > integration and innovation. Now, most of the news is about > Kubernetes, OpenShift, Tectonic, and Quay — but there’s also > Container Linux (the operating system formerly known just as > “CoreOS”). At Red Hat Summit, the company announced and clarified a > bunch of things around product and corporate plans. Now, it’s time > for us to figure out how we can welcome and include the Container > Linux community in the circle of Fedora Friends. > > > What does this mean for Fedora Atomic Host and other deliverables? > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > This isn’t the place for technical details — see “what next?” at > the bottom of this message for more. I expect that over the next > year or so, Fedora Atomic Host will be replaced by a new thing > combining the best from Container Linux and Project Atomic. This > new thing will be “Fedora CoreOS” and serve as the upstream to Red > Hat CoreOS. > > > What does this mean for the Fedora community? > --------------------------------------------- > > Good things! Container Linux is exciting, innovative, and has a > passionate user and developer community. The people who built it > are awesome and well-aligned with the Fedora community foundations. > > The “Fedora Editions” strategy intentionally makes space for > exploring emerging areas in operating system distributions. CoreOS > will help us push that even further and bring new ways of doing > things to the project as a whole. > > > What does this mean for Container Linux users? > ---------------------------------------------- > > More good things! I know this is kind of scary. Fedora CoreOS is > going to be built from Fedora content rather than in the way it’s > made now. It won’t necessarily be made in the same way we make > Fedora OS deliverables today, though. No matter what, we absolutely > want the CoreOS user experience of “container cluster host OS that > keeps itself up-to-date and you just don’t worry about it”. Again, > technical details are a discussion for elsewhere, but the goal is > for existing Container Linux users to be as happy as — or happier > than! — you are with the OS today. > > And here’s the super-important thing: Fedora really is a > community-driven project, and this means that you can get involved > and directly influence how the future Fedora CoreOS works to meet > your needs. If you’re interested and need help getting involved, > don’t hesitate to talk to me, to the Join Fedora team, or to the > developers and community people already working on the project. > > > Hey, so… “Fedora Core”! > ----------------------- > > Everything’s a circle, right? But, this has nothing to do with the > Red Hat vs. external split that was Fedora Core and Extras back in > the day. We absolutely do not want to regress to that kind of > community divide. “Core” just happens to be a pretty catchy name > component for an OS that fits the “small, focused base” concept. > This concept is powerful and useful for today’s information > technology and computing world, and we want to give it proper focus > in Fedora. > > > Okay, so, what next? > -------------------- > > Visit the new website at https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/. > The project is just getting started, so there's not much there yet, > but we have an initial FAQ. > > If you have questions that aren't answered, or just want to get > involved, join in discussion on the new Discourse board > https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/coreos, sign up for the the > development mailing list at > https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/coreos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/, > and chat on Freenode IRC in #fedora-coreos. > > > > -- > Matthew Miller > <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Fedora Project Leader > _______________________________________________ > announce mailing list -- announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/VY5L7JW5I6CGGPWNAN2AJU5MM5DGRWRI/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/2UKZMPU7URV7IH4DJHZG4PUJ5GNYFANK/
